Who We Work With Across the North West
Our North West cyber security clients are typically businesses with 5 to 100 staff that handle sensitive data but do not have an in-house security team. The region’s economy is famously broad, covering aerospace and advanced manufacturing across Lancashire, pharmaceuticals and life sciences in Cheshire and along Manchester’s Oxford Road Corridor, financial and professional services across Manchester and Liverpool, port and logistics operations on Merseyside, digital and creative businesses in MediaCityUK and the Baltic Triangle, agri-food across Cheshire and Lancashire, and healthcare and public sector employers in every sub-region. All face the same phishing, ransomware and account takeover threats.
Our cyber security for North West businesses suits three common situations: firms winning contracts that require Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus; organisations reacting to a recent phishing attempt or near-miss; and businesses reviewing their cyber insurance renewal and needing demonstrable protection in place. We also provide managed IT support and cloud services across all four North West counties.
